In the Free Territory, as the New Year is approaching, many people have begun to post various New Year pictures and even hang red lanterns in front of their doors. Due to the strong military power of the Free Territory, coupled with the developed market and convenient life in the territory, many nearby gentry have moved their families to the territory. The land was handed over to a subordinate to take care of. After the Free Territory upgraded its town, the houses in the territory began to be renovated. All the houses were built with bricks and tiles. The residential buildings were all built into three-story small buildings. The entire Free Town accommodated two people. With a population of more than 100,000, it has basically reached the limit of the number of people that a primary town can accommodate.
The entire territory is shrouded in a festive atmosphere. In addition to the villages and towns in the territory, they are also in the atmosphere of celebrating New Year's Eve. No matter how poor a person is, the New Year has to be celebrated!
In the territory's meeting hall, Qin Ge held a tea party, hosted by Piaoxiang House, mainly inviting personnel from various departments and people who had made outstanding contributions to the territory this year. There were more than 500 people of various types present, of which only about 100 were evolutionaries. Qin Ge delivered a New Year's speech, mainly thanking everyone for their support and attention to the territory in the latest year. He also selected advanced individuals and collectives and awarded honorary plaques!
Chai Jiumu, an advanced individual who has become rich, Sun Guan, an advanced individual who has bravely championed the three armed forces, the advanced collective Black Scale Army Group, and Shi De, a moral model...
Each advanced person was commended. Qin Ge not only personally awarded medals, but also awarded bonuses. He also asked Man Chong to hang the list at the top of the bulletin board for a month. It can be said that it is the highest honor in the free collar.
At the banquet, everyone was changing glasses. Man Chong, Sun Guan, Wei Sanniang, Chen Yuan, Zhuge Xiaoliang and other senior officials were sitting at the same table.
"Brother! This Nian Beast event should be a subsidy from the system to evolvers. Not only are pseudo-Nian beasts spawning in each territory, but also Nian beasts appear in every county. Killing pseudo-Nian beasts can get a huge amount of Supplies, alleviate the need for supplies for refugees this time, and at the same time, killing the Nian Beast will be rewarded with god-level items, which is a bonus!" Zhuge Xiaoliang is very interested in this Nian Beast event, and others are also gearing up.
Qin Ge knocked on the table and said with a smile: "According to the system, this matter of urine is definitely not that simple. The system generally has a bigger benefit, and a bigger hole to dig!"
At this time, a county official hurried from outside the town. He rushed over under the leadership of a guard, took out a letter and handed it to Qin Ge: "Master Qin! The county governor wants to take over the throne and ask each county to recommend it." Powerful soldiers and horses have gathered at Fenggao to guard Fenggao, and the county magistrate has asked you to lead your troops and rush to Fenggao County City immediately!"
Qin Ge dismissed the county officials, spread out the letter and said: "It seems that this prefect Ying is going to make a big move. He is planning to use the New Year's Eve event to summon powerful private soldiers from all over the country to rectify the situation in Mount Tai!"
After Man Chong, Chen Yuan and others circulated the letter, Chen Yuan frowned and said: "This Lord Ying seems to be really desperate, and then he came up with the idea of using Taishan's power to suppress the Taishan bandits! But I think There will not be too many people who respond. First of all, squires everywhere are generally killed by bandits. In addition, Zang Ba has accumulated great power in Taishan County, and powerful people dare not stroke his tiger beard! However, the winter is approaching, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Taishan bandits are all Due to the dangerous roads, it is difficult to gather troops in large numbers, and the Nian beast will continue to plunder various places. It is indeed a good time to retake the counties at this time!"
Man Chong's eyes were shining brightly and he said: "My lord, this is a God-given opportunity! God helps my lord to rise! My lord, you still remember the three strategies I gave you!"
Qin Ge nodded and said: "How dare you forget Mr.'s three strategies? The first step is to take root in the countryside and accumulate popularity; the second step is to plan counties and counties and step into the court; the third step is to gather strength based on the territory and look forward to the world! "
Man Chong nodded and said: "Yes, the free rulers currently dominate the seven towns of Mou County, and the lord has already begun to gain fame in Taishan County. Now is the second stage of development, strategizing counties and counties, stepping into the court, and now This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ying Shao was born in the Ying family, a large family. His father was a Sili captain and a close minister of the emperor. Now Ying Shao is struggling in Taishan County. He is dependent on his family and barely controls Juping and Fenggao. County, he has also tasted the sweetness of relying on the local forces in Taishan. At this time, he is in a stage of internal and external troubles. The Lord's intervention at this time will definitely be a help in times of need, and he can use Ying Shao to enter the court! So I suggest that we not only participate this time, And to participate fully, I suggest bringing 30,000 elite troops there!"
Zhuge Xiaoliang looked a little gloomy and said: "If we usually mobilize 30,000 troops for an expedition, it would be okay, but now those guys in Restart Town are eyeing them, I'm afraid..."
Man Chong narrowed his eyes and said: "Those guys are just scabies. Currently, they have 60,000 regular Dongyue troops, 10,000 bronze-grade phantom demon troops, 50,000 uniform black scale armor troops, and 20 reserve rural brave troops. 80,000, all of them are local warriors with iron grade or above, well-equipped, and in exchange for the demon clan, there are 50,000 adult legions that can be put into battle! Just in time! The lord has mobilized the elite troops to leave, and there will be more people hiding in the dark. Looking forward to it!”
"No! This is too risky!" Zhuge Xiaoliang directly rejected Man Chong's suggestion.
"Okay! I will lead 20,000 elite bronze-grade Dongyue soldiers, plus 10,000 phantom demon troops, to respond to the call of the prefect, and the territorial affairs will be taken care of by Xiao Liang and Man Chong!" Qin Ge is a decisive person, since Make a decision immediately!
Sun Guan and other generals were excited when they heard that Qin Ge was about to go on an expedition. Qin Ge only ordered Sun Guan, Yingzhao, Qin Fuguan, Qin Fujin, Qin Jiwu, Qin Jiben, Zhao Jiangang and Tie Feilong to go on the expedition! Sun Guan and others who were selected were eager to fight, and the crowd was excited, while the other generals showed regret on their faces.
Qin Ge looked at Man Chong and Zhuge Xiaoliang and said, "After I leave, Boning will be fully responsible for the military affairs. Xiaoliang will assist him in intelligence work, and Shude will do a good job in appeasing the people! I will leave the house to you!" Man Chong and others quickly came out and kowtowed to Qin Ge: "I swear to live and die with the territory!"
Three days later, Qin Ge led the selected elite troops towards Fenggao, deploying 20,000 of the most elite elite troops of all bronze quality and 10,000 mid-level copper-grade phantom demon army. The Dongyue soldiers wore uniform black scale armor sets. Since it was the middle of winter, they wore cotton-padded clothes inside the armor sets, while the phantom demon troops wore fur coats made of animal skins. Since they needed to transform into beasts when fighting, the cotton-padded clothes were worn when transforming into beasts. As a burden, they wear helmets, heart armor, and other simple armors, and carry slashing knives on their backs, which does not affect the beast transformation and can protect vital parts during battle. Moreover, after continuous training and fighting, the phantom demon soldiers are gradually adapting to it. Use weapons to fight! Qin Ge led his troops away surrounded by tigers and warriors, and finally disappeared into the vast world.
Man Chong and Zhuge Xiaoliang stood on the city wall and looked at the white snow outside the city. Man Chong smiled and said: "The seven towns in the east are going to start to be turbulent!" The news that Qin Ge led half of the troops to the county town spread like wildfire. Suddenly, the entire seven towns of Mou County were undercurrent!
Thirty thousand men and horses set off in a mighty manner, marching all the way. Qin Ge also gradually realized how difficult it was to march and fight in ancient times. In the past, fighting had always been fought in his own territory, but now he had to cross counties to go to the county town, which took more than half a month. It’s because Mou County is relatively close to Fenggao County. For example, Nancheng County, where the Qionghua Club is located, would take at least two months to march to the county seat!
Yingzhao led a thousand tiger and leopard phantom soldiers to act as scouts. After the last incident, Yingzhao actually took the initiative to learn marching and fighting. Qin Ge even asked him to study with Man Chong for a period of time. Seeing Yingzhao skillfully commanding troops to conduct reconnaissance, Qin Ge was very satisfied with her performance. The Phantom Corps had excellent single-unit explosive power, but lacked advanced combat awareness and command. Qin Ge was looking forward to the progress of Yingzhao.
…
In the meeting hall of Restart Town, Beidi Canglang, Ao Shitianxia and Lu Qingcheng sat at the main seats. The meeting hall was full of evolvers, all of whom were leaders of the evolution forces who had escaped from nearby counties and towns. A few days ago, Qin Ge led 30,000 elite troops through the western district of Mou County and left Mou County, and the leaders of the forces in the restart town became a little blatant.
Beidi Canglang first looked at everyone and said: "Everyone! Qin Ge led half of the troops of the Free Territory to support the county guard. Now that the Free Territory is unusually empty, it is the best time for us to seize the Free Territory and control the seven towns in the eastern part of Mou County!"
"Boss Canglang! The Free Territory not only defeated Xingyao's troops chasing us, but also provided us with a shelter. Are we taking advantage of the emptiness of the territory to seize Qin Ge's territory to retaliate?" An evolution leader said something unspeakable. road.
Ao Shitianxia's eyes flashed coldly and said: "The purpose of entering the advanced universe is to compete for world supremacy, plunder resources and evolve in the direction of God. Now our territory is occupied by Xingyao, and the brothers have left their homes. Now we have invested a lot of resources to establish To restart the town, we have to rely on others. Only by seizing the free territory of the seven towns in Zhanmu County can we have a foothold in troubled times. This world originally follows the law of the jungle. People like Qin Ge are not suitable for survival, so let us give it to them. Let him learn a lesson!" The leaders of many evolutionists were suddenly replaced by greed. As the saying goes: "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you!"
Lu Qingcheng nodded and said: "The purpose of calling everyone here this time is to discuss the plan to send troops and how to capture the Free Territory in one fell swoop!"
…
Qin Ge led the troops to move in the mountains and fields. At this moment, a rapid scream came from the front, and Qin Ge shouted sternly: "Arrange the troops!" The Dongyue soldiers and the Phantom Demon Legion quickly formed a defensive formation!
I saw hundreds of cavalry flashing out from the mountain road and rushing over. Sun Guan led the Great Qin Tigers to stand in front of Qin Ge, the dragon spear in his hand burning with flames.
"Qin Boxi is in front of us! Yin Li asks to see you!" A hoarse voice came, and a lean man in his mid-twenties was seen carrying two long-handled stone sabers, wearing a gold chainmail armor, and his face was covered with He had hideous scars, and his long hair was spread over his shoulders. The hundred cavalry behind him turned out to be all gold-grade generals, among whom there were more than twenty high-ranking generals.
"Stop moving forward! Otherwise, don't blame my spear for being rude!" Sun Guan raised his gun and looked at Yin Li coldly.
Yin Li reined in his horse, looked at Sun Guan and Da Qin Hu Ben, who was heavily guarding Qin Ge, and narrowed his eyes: "Qin Boxi is indeed well-deserved! This is the first general of the Free Leader, Sun Zhongtai, Sun Guan!"
The Great Qin Tigers and Ben separated, Qin Ge rode out on Pojun, clasped his fists at Yin Li and said, "I have heard about the name of the leader of Yin, Qin, and have never had a chance to see him. Today I saw that he is really a tiger and leopard general! Qin Ge is here to greet you." Got it!"
"Haha! It's such a joy in life to be praised by Qin Boxi. Hearing that Qin Boxi was coming, Yin held a banquet in a mountain pavilion ten miles away, hoping that Qin Boxi would praise him!" After Yin Li finished speaking, a dozen horses roared away with a hundred riders. go!
Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "Yin Li is so kind! You guys are setting up camp here, and I'll go take a look!" The expressions of Sun Guan and Yingzhao changed drastically.
Sun Guan quickly shook his head and said: "Yin Li has joined the Zang Ba Alliance. They are ready to fight the imperial court to the end. Going now is not a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth!" Qin Ge is just a copper product, and any of Yin Li's subordinates can easily crush him to death. , It’s too reckless to see Yin Li like this!
Qin Ge's eyes were firm and he said: "This is my first step towards Taishan County. Every step we take in the future will be like the banquet I went to today, moving forward!" After Qin Ge finished speaking, he drove the tiger soul to follow!
